Thumbs up What do you think of SCI??

IMHO, The site is still very young and that their is not enough interest yet for members to post and start discussions, or for Lurkers to even have a reason to sign up I suppose. But I think this will change over time and people will start to realize that this is a pretty good place after all and will want to participate more often. I have to tell you the truth, if I didn't build this site, I would have little interest right now myself. Maybe I would come around every once in a while, but that would be it for now until this place picks up a little more. But I do know thier is already a very solid starting foundation here with some very quality people that actually care about one another. That alone would make me want to come back anywhere, plus the fact that thier are very good handicappers that give out winners consistently and actually try and help one another out by cleaning up on their man and making a profit.

Building up a forum as competitive as the sports betting and poker industry is very difficult at best. It takes any site or forum a while before they are established in any industry.

So what are your thoughts on SCI so far? What are your reasons for visiting?
What do you think would make this place or any other forum a better place to visit?

Any suggestions or Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Give me any criticism or feedback to build on, so I can make this place a better and more enjoyable site for you to visit. I really want this to work and make SCI the best possible place for everyone. This is your forum and a forum is built by you all. So let me hear it

Great site, many tools to use here, much more than most others. NEW and will grow in time. Get a poker tourney going, thats a craze now and you will get many new people here. Have them sign up through here as a book sponsors the tourney. When DOC goes 10-0 get on the other sites and promote that DOC is on fire @ SCI,lol, just kidding. You are doing a great job and patience is needed in this business. People will come.

tommy ive tried to tell you, nothing is wrong w the site, its not the site which is why there is lack of ppl posting or we havent gotten more members, its time....we havent had this thing open very long compared to other places, these kind of sites take time to blow up....advertising is huge, we need to do something to advertise, whether its make up tshirts and wear them around so ppl see the url, or mail out cards or put an ad in a mag or whatever...word of mouth is key also, in time ppl who belong to this site will spread the word about how good our site is and other ppl will want to check it out, but we have to be patient....thats the main thing

I like the quick responses whenever I ask a question. Just needs more people which of course takes more time. When did the site start?

I got the first forum at the end of Dec but no one was here for a while. Then since March I have been building this site and just in July got this new forum. I am still working on it as time goes on. trying to improve every week.

I just signed up 10 minutes ago lol. I read about 5 sites and only post at 1 because of the bullshit some of the places let happen. I figure the more I read the more I learn. I try to pull any info. out of every post I read as long as it's supported by facts.

Anyways, this site looks good. AND I don't see any kids talking shit (bashing).
I'll be checking things out and if I have any good info to add I will.

I'm just a little confused???? It seems there are picks in different places. I was in the NCAA football forum and the busiest football thread was actually in a different area (I can't remember the forum off the top of my head) I found later.

Anyways...GL with all bets!!!

hey man, welcome to the site, hope u like what u see...anything we can do for you please let us know....what you were referring to was the following...we have a forum for ncaa football picks, where everyone posts their picks and opinions on the game, and then we have a forum called sci insider power...2 guys, JFS and ACE ACE have inside connections and information on certain games and they post whatever they have in that forum....hope this helps....they are 2 of the better guys to follow around the net so be sure to check that out! Gl w your picks

OK sounds good to me. Just a suggestion...I don't know anything about managing a forum or if the software allows, but maybe the thread could be duplicated to the forum it pertains to....Ex...Jimfeists thread could be where it is and also in the NCAA foots forum. It may make it easier for ppl to find.

As I said...It's just a suggestion. I know where to look from now on anyways.

GL to all the rest of the weekend
